About This Non-Book

The Mills Bomb: Paper Grenade Model Kit is a 2:1 paper model of the Mills Bomb, which represents the classical form of the hand grenade. The weapon was developed at the beginning of the 20th century by the golf club maker William Mills and later committed to the British Army. Through its distinctive look and the use of the grenade in mass media, it has become the archaic form of the modern hand grenade. Everybody knows how to pull the primer, grasp the grip and then throw the grenade, although hand grenades don't play any role in our daily lives. Ultimately, this Mills Bomb thankfully remains a piece of paper.

The Mills Bomb: Paper Grenade Model Kit is a 2:1 paper model of the Mills Bomb, which represents the classical form of the hand grenade.

The weapon was developed at the beginning of the 20th century by the golf club maker William Mills and later committed to the British Army. Through its distinctive look and the use of the grenade in mass media, it has become the archaic form of the modern hand grenade. Everybody knows how to pull the primer, grasp the grip and then throw the grenade, although hand grenades don't play any role in our daily lives. The almost playful handling and the idea that it explodes within a certain time span has contributed to this weapon never being mentioned in the same vein as firearms – although it is to no extent less dangerous. Ultimately, this MP5 thankfully remains a piece of paper.

Following the AK47 (2007), the death machine series has now been extended with four new paper weapons to the arsenal including the UZI, MP5, M4A8 and Mills Bomb paper grenade. Ultimately these weapons thankfully remain a piece of paper.

Not recommended for people under age 18. Recommended for experienced crafters. Construction time depends on handcrafting abilities. Does not contain glue and cutter. If you're gonna play with guns, use paper ones!
